Most of my best stuff is trapped on 5 inch floppies. Now I have a piece of crap laptop that came with no memory. I hate computers.
glennk121
I was the one in school that found you could cut a notch in the opposite side of the 5” floppy and use both sides. Now bowling AND pong on 1
Gantzz321
I don't believe there is 64 floppies there
DutchCraft2050
But the programs weren't so big. So it was ok.
Suzwir
Yeah, but 132 > 128 so...

We've come a loooong way...just to store our porn

I was lucky, had a 1x CD burner($2.5K) at work. Put them all on a CD and managed to load Windows from that.

I remember buying sixty or eighty disks to back up the important bits of my 1 Gig hard drive back in the day.

I would like to see the 128GB equivalent in floppy disks.

Remember having Doom v1.4 install floppies 1-3 but couldn’t find 4? So frustrating.

Data is a gas; it will expand to fill its container.

Only if you forget to specify a maximum file size to wrap and an expiration

That seems more like History Vs. More Recent history.

I'll bet those floppies hold one whole playboy centerfold.
Demikmj
Now show a stack of books equivalent to the amount of data on those disks!

In the old days, we had to lug over 132MB up a mountain, 5 miles in the snow, down a canyon...and, all during a BLIZZARD.

Yeah but it's harder to lose all those disks
pauldkaye480
You only have to lose one

When CDs first came out, they were kept in those caddies and loaded into drives like floppy disks. Metal window slides out of the way.

You should look at how large 5MB hard drives were in 50s
BayouBrit
My father worked at NCR since the 60s and the hard drive discs in the early 80s were still the size.of garbage can lids.....still have one.

I still have an old dusty windows 95 box with the entire windows set of install floppies in my basement. Probably time to throw it away...

Yeah that seems to be almost all discs required for Duke Nukem 3D. They occupied an entire shelf.
malkavian3str
Duke 3D is 15 disks, I still got one lieing around here.

Felt like a thousand back in the day. And I had the bootlegged version.
